Hi - I tried to input the journal comment display for the What's New Block and I'm getting this error when I add it to my lib-custom.php. Any ideas what this is?

my site is 7 Deadly-Sins. But it has to be listed in config as theveil.org since it was originally moved over from the Veil.

Parse error: parse error in /home/theveil.org/html/adventures/system/lib-custom.php on line 430

Sounds like you have a parse error on or before line 430 of that file.

Also check for extra whitespace after ?> at the end of the file. Delete it if there is any.

no blank spaces ,( I had made sure of that. All I did was add the code to the end of my lib-custom.php.

Then there is a parse error. Maybe someething split onto two lines, an unescaped quotation mark, etc.

Well, I'm not very good with this, so it may sound dumb. I remember reading a while back that you need to space over instead of hitting the tab key in php. So I took the coding and deleted all the spaces and spaced over with the spacebar.

Now the parse error is on line 449 and this is 449:

this is line 450:


And if I look at the code in dreamweaver, is in orange, like something is missing.

I take it for granted you didn't use dreamweavor when you edited the file?

That's correct - I edited it in notepad

I have also tried to implemnt this on my 'test server' and receive the same error as yourself!

I'm no php expert but wouldn't the # in line 450 indicate a comment?

A # is a comment in many languages, but not in php.

The forum strips backslashes out, so you might be doing it correctly, but see how $str is a string? Since you are defining the string with double quotes, make sure you escape the double quotes inside that string with backslashes (right after the href= and right after #comments).

Awesome! Thanks - that was it - so it should like like this:
